Thought of future success had ,,cop blottad

house had mucb 10 do with This and the
Young man knew IL.
Bur the Young man had the consolation
If knowing that there were thousands Of
others in the same boat. These are the
young men who receive small salaries and
are either working their way IN in the
world or else down. MANY are unable To
live in better rooms, white others with n
desire to save money, choose to live in re-
stricted Quarters, There are thousands
Of such in this town. The room will cost
b 80 or So For twenty cents the yonny
man gets his eggs and coffee for break
fast, sandwich mt lunch time is ten cents
more For dinner his roast or sirloin steak
and coffee comes to thirty cents. He
walks TO and from his swork SO that
his expense is little over e. Der week.
He may get board for a little less but il
is doubtful if he can average much lower
than the above
